tuppence Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Can anyone help? I've just lost Channel 4 somehow. Screen started to pixillate (as it does when there is a storm about to break). But there is no storm just a lovely evening. I can get all other channels including Channel4 + 1. Don't know what to do, this is the first time this has ever happened under normal weather conditions.[8-)]tuppence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suein56 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 It happened to me too; so you are not alone. There I was trying to watch Sarah Beany when she came over all pixelated and then the picture completely broke up, before freezing totally. As all other channels are behaving normally my OH says it must be something peculiar to CH4.Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anton Redman Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 It was problem with the C4 uplink to the satellite rather than the transmission from the satellite. Ended up whatching it on C4 + 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre ZFP Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I'll pass by the Astra Satellite farm at Wasserbillig on the way home and tell 'em to be more careful in the future if you like [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin963 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 It's uplinked from Britain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre ZFP Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 OK, you can go and give 'em a slap [:P] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin963 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I'll try!Seriously, some may remember that the BBC DSat's were brought to a shuddering halt a couple of years ago by a diluvian downpour over London which obliterated their uplink. I believe they now have a reserve west of London to avoid a repeat, but it shows how vulnerable microwaves are to heavy rain, no matter how big the dish.....
